1931 [[image - drawing of a wildcat]] CLIFFORD KING Guard King was the type of guard that demanded respect from his opponent. He is big and fast. We could depend on his getting his man on the offense. He would have been one of the best guards in the country but for an injury received in the Tuskegee game. King has two more seasons with the Wildcats. HERMAN "FLYING BRIT" SHAW Half Shaw is the boy doped by many of the Wildcats followers to fill James "Streak" Evans' shoes next season. He has earned the name of "Flying Brit" because he leaps over his men in order to cut an opponent down when he does not have time to go around his mate. His defensive work is of the best type. He is a hard, sure tackler, and can carry the ball. LUCIUS "ROAD" DAVIS Half The fans like to see this boy sway his back and run like a reindeer. His defensive work is of such a nature that he is our most dependable half to pair with Evans. His speed and ability to intercept passes causes many a team to play the running game against the Wildcats. ORIAN "CRIP" LOVING Tackle This boy is big and aggresive. His weight which is concentrated in a little space, makes him the best tackle to our team. With two years of experience behind him, he should be as good a tackle as there is in the country. It was Loving who paved the way for the first score against the Bears when he blocked a punt on the goal line. ARTHUR BRADLEY Tackle Bradley is the rugged lad from the extreme western portion of Texas. He has earned the name of "Iron Man" because of his nerve and ability to take punishment. Once you are tackled by Bradley you will try to find some other way to run. He is the silent one. AUGUSTUS H. RHODES Tackle Rhodes was the lightest man of the forward wall with the exception of Griffin, the left end. Nevertheless, he was always through the line smearing plays before they developed. His small frame could be seen flying through space in an attempt to take out his heavier opponents. With a little increase in weight Rhodes would be as good a tackle as one could find. WILLIE D. COMBS Center Combs, the Oklahoma boy of All-American fame, had bad luck while in Tuskegee. He was unfortunate enough to let the 260 pound Tuskegee center fall on his ankle. He was forced to remain on the bench with Coach Long until the Bishop game. He was in his stride again against the Bears.
